Lead generation is often misunderstood in real estate. Success in real estate requires dedicated lead generation efforts contrary to some beliefs. This lesson challenges prevalent myths by empirically demonstrating the efficacy of consistent, time-blocked lead generation efforts.
Lead generation can be viewed as a function of behavioral economics, where consistent prospecting efforts influence client acquisition and sales. The model directly challenges the "availability heuristic," a cognitive bias where individuals overestimate readily available events. Overcoming this bias necessitates a structured approach to lead generation, aligning with operational efficiency and resource allocation.
The model is also based on the principles of sales pipeline management. Effective lead generation directly correlates with the quantity and quality of leads in the sales pipeline. Proper pipeline management is essential for forecasting sales and revenue. Sales forecasting models often utilize historical data to predict future sales based on leads. The model is referred to as "36:12:3."
